• Review the 10 Commandments of Food Safety targeted to sales and marketing professionals
• Understand Produce Traceability Initiative (PTI) Milestones, and what steps they need to take to maintain compliancy
• Learn details on PTI Milestones, and how they affect every company that receives inbound product, as well as implementation timelines for 2011
